[solved] 'gmic-gimp' plug-in not working.

[Jagdeesh]

Downloaded 'gmic_gimp_linux32.zip' dated 2011-08-06( version 1.5.0) from  http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmic/files/
and as per 'readme' extracted to
'$HOME/.gimp-2.x/plug-ins/' (for local installation),
or 'usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/' (for global installation).
But in both cases it is not working.
The file permissions are same as that of other plugins at 'usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/'
At last ,doubting the healthiness of the downloaded file,copied the properly working plugin from my mint9 partition to '$HOME/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins/' directory,but in vain.
Actually it should appear at the bottom of the 'filters' list and enabled if some image is open in gimp.
I never had such a problem earlier.
Has anybody faced this situation? Is there any solution?

Just tried this. Put it in the gimp plugin folder in home dir and it appeared at the bottom of the "filters" list when I restarted gimp. Pardus 2009.2.

Also working here (P2011 32bit).

I copied the filter only into home folder /home/user/........

just for testing purposes, i've tried it with pardus kurumsal 2 _64.
copied gmic_gimp to /home/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins and it works with this version.

[SW]

I also tried now    'usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/' (for global installation)    and it is also working!

Hi,
I am using Pardus 2011.1,32 bit ,updated.
Nice to see your success,but no luck here till now.
Not even in xbuntu virtual box machine run through pardus.
Don't know what is wrong this time ......getting exhausted....
shall leave it as it is for some days and see later in a fresh mood.
Thanks for your replies.
Regards.

I've prepared build files for gimp-gmic-plugin package and it should appears in pardususer.de repo soon.

Thanks a lot!

I've prepared build files for gimp-gmic-plugin package and it should appears in pardususer.de repo soon.

and now available from 2. Additional (non-official) package source: pardususer.de
With the following recommendation (from a.palius):

When gimp-gmic-plugin will be available in pardususer.de repository, seems to be good idea write about that in this topic with the additional information that it is recomended to first remove the manual installation of this plugin.

And a Blue Gene/P supercomputer is recommended to build this PiSi package.
With my Asus P5QLD PRO + Intel E6700 @ 3.2GHz + 2GB Ram + 8.5 GB Swap it takes 38 minutes using 100% CPU / 100% Ram / 22% Swap to the package.

Installed successfully!
First confirmed that earlier copied 'gmic_gimp' is deleted from both the places and then installed.
It installed a dependency 'baselayout'
Now working nicely.
Thanks to all the concerned,the Pardus team.
